XBOne Version of NBA 2K14 Missing From Blowout Press Event, Confirmed Native 1080p/60

This might be my favorite console launch ever. Not necessarily because of the games, but because the console wars are entertaining as hell.
 
Hmm, all of this uncertainty so close to launch gives me confidence that I made the right decision on holding off on a purchase. Hopefully all this smoke clears in the months after launch and things get ironed out for the platform.
 
So you're telling me the PS4 logo here isn't because of some marketing deal? Yeah, I totally believe it.

Why doesn't anyone in the press just ask where the Xbone version is?

They would probably be given the answer off the record.

That could be to make it clear the PS4 version looks that good. Meaning if people complain later they can say "we labeled those pics PS4".

I specifically remember Bungie being asked around E3 if that Destiny demo they showed was real time on consoles. I remember their response being something like "That is how Destiny will look on PS4". I thought it was odd they made a point of saying it that way, but now it seems more clear why they might have done that.

Just stop? You realize there was a 100 page rumor thread about Ghosts running 1080p upscaled from 720p on x1? Seems like a pretty important distinction whether it's upscaled or native. "Running" doesn't mean anything. Every X1 game will "run" at 1080p

Yes I know that but when there is confirmation from a staff member at ign that it will run at 1080p 60fps on both machines picking apart his comment solves nothing. He is reporting on what he heard. Until we actually see the game running at a lower res or an insider says "hey 720p" then we have no reason to believe otherwise and trying to start shit by dismantling a statement from ign is stupid.

Edit: And yeah native 1080p

Speaks volumes. People need to stop denying this and stop drinking the MS PR kool aid, then maybe we'll get some straight answers instead of beating around the bush.

I agree, though most Xbox fanboys will still be in denial & try to spin it to avoid hearing any negative news about their precious "next gen" system.
 
Native 1080pizzle.

Can a mod change the thread title to include that both versions run at native 1080p/60 FPS?

Gracias.

Looks just as good as the PS4 version to me.

I wouldn't put much stock in anything they've shown of that game tbh. Eurogamer did a video and half was PC footage (confirmed by them) with playstation on screen buttons. And half was actual PS4 with playstation on screen buttons. I think most of anything we've seen of AC4 has been PC masquerading as console footage.

I know that's a bit tinfoil hat, but i just don't trust anything these devs are showing us.
 
I think at this point even the most hardcore xbox fans knows this is no marketing deal and simply devs are showing the best version, its a waste for everyone's time to go through the same thing over and over again.

what I am thinking is that with a majority of this being a XB1 optimization issue... where some devs dont have enough time to work with the ESRAM therefore making them downscale their games... while others do make it in time and have there multi-plats on par with the PS4 when it reaches retail but are not able to show it at events since it isn't as finiliazed as the PS4 version


I believe if we don't get these certain annual games not running with the same resolution/fps/etc.... as the PS4 for this holiday then next year we might see them with an increased resolutiuon etc... since they've eventually learnt how to deal with the hardware


Ex: if COD is 720p then the next COD in 2014 would be 1080p

And the PS4 has more room for improvement via GPU compute.

Why did multiplatform games on PS3 never overtake multiplatform games on 360 across the board? Because it remained easier to program for the 360.

They do have co-marketing, but Sony usually doesn't block games from being shown on other platforms. GTAV is a good example of this. They were constantly showing it on the PS3 during demos and trailers, but when the press finally got their hands on it they were only shown the 360 version.

That certainly is a marketing deal. But would that marketing deal keep the Xbox One version out of every press event outside of TV commercials? In that case, does Sony have a "marketing deal" with damn near every game company right now?

idk, I'm the furthest thing from an xbox fan and I still think this is a marketing deal.

Perhaps but I don't see how you would get them to look exactly the same without putting unfair effort into literally trying to make them look the same

If the game isn't really pushing either console then you probably won't see much if any difference (and it probably isn't pushing either console if its running at 60fps and 1080p).
There will probably be loads of multiplatform games like this next gen.

maybe it's there because it's a screenshot of the PS4 version.

or maybe there is a marketing deal, but that it doesn't apply to a behind closed door press event as two of GAFs insiders have confirmed.

marketing deal or not, the Xbox One version wasn't absent today because of one.

I doubt there will be loads. But there will be titles like that sure. We had a small handful on 360 and PS3 like Rayman Legends and Virtua Tennis, but they were very few and far between.
 
For all the talk about MS paying devs to not show PS version of games, it sure looks like the other way around. Cue outrage...

Next question should have been native? And why is the Xbox version not here?

It is native.

He still hasn't mentioned why the Xbox version isn't there. But would you mind including in the thread title that both versions are 1080p/60fps.

Thanks.
